PAYING OFF OLD SCORES.

Russia's Retaliation for German Antag-
onism in 1873 and 1886.
The Russian ukase forbidding foreigners to
acquire estates on the western frontier Of
Russia is designed principally to put an end
to the influx of Germans into Russia. There
are in Russia so many German factories,
workshops, warehouses and farms, the pro-
auctions of which are of profit to Germans
exclusively. that the Russian government
regald DIS them as detrimental to the country,
owing to their com petition with Russian in
dustries Besides, most of the Germans in
Russia are members of the German army re-
serves, and, in event of war, they might be-
come hostile outposts, familiar with Russia s
topography, resources and strategic condi-
ton, and might seek an alliance with the
Poles.
The ukase will not effect it's obiectSmme-
diately as it does not disturb foreigners who
are already landlords. Many hold land
under temporary concessions which will not
be renewed when their terms expire. 1t is
expected that the tenants will then leave
their holdings and that the owners of the
land will find circumstances so adverse that
they will also be compelled to leave. This, to-
gether with the outstanding movement in
the Baltic provinces, will produce an increas-
ing breach between Germany and Russia and
render impossiblea renewal of their former
cordiality which was undermined by Prince
Bismark's action at the Berlin Congress and
his policy in the Bulgarian crisis.-London

Further on the inscription states:
"The Emperor Fsn Tsung respectfully
succeeded his ancestor "a. e.. Tai Tsung),
and was still more benefcent toward the
institution of truth. In every province
he caused illustrious churches to be
erected, and ratified the honor conferred
upon Olopun, making him the great con-
servator of doctrine for the preservation
of the state. While this doctrine per-
vaded every channel, the state became
enriched, and tranquility abounded.
Every city was full of churches, and the
royal family enjoyed lustre and happi
ness"
Mr.. Bryant says: "This stone bears
witness to the long-ago introduction of
our religion into China, and to a con-
siderable progress of that religion in the
country; but, alas to-day there is ap-
parently not vestige of that work in
the land except this silent, yet eloquent
stone; and such has been the case for
centuries. Why this sad obliteration Of
that Christianity from those regions
where it seems once to have greatly
tiourished? Nevertheless, look for
ward hopefully to the time when Christ's
kingdom shall be established more firmly
and more widely and more effectively in
this region than it was established
by the HISTORIAN priests; anC when this
interesting stone, rescued from he
nands of Buddhist priests, shall form a
valued memorial in some Chinese Chris
ian church yet to be built in Chang
Ngan. Can it be that this utter extinc-
ion of the HISTORIAN Church from the
and is owing to the neglect Of the Nes-
.orian teachers to give the sacred Scrip
,ures and other Christian book. ~ tneir
people: Anyhow, our work a. Protestant
missionaries in this nineteenth century
is founded and carried On throGgh0ut
the land with mightier and more indie
structible forces than that Of the Nes-
torian missionaries. The Divine Script
ures are by Us put in the hands Of our
Protestant Christians everywhere, and
are also widely disseminated among the
heather; and are being distributed more
extensively every year.

One fire puts out another. Nothing so

duty acts in uniform manner.-Addison.

Wild Cattle in New Jersey.

The wild cattle which have roamed for
years at their own sweet will through the
salt meadows and stunted pines of latham 8
Beach, one of the Jersey coast stretches just
above Cape May, are to be slaughtered to
make way for the establishment of a new
seaside resort on the beach by Philadelphia
property. At sale at the ancient latham
manor house on the beach, day or two ago,
the wild cattle were sold to William Barnett,
of Cape May, at 81 so head. Barnett's
neighbors think be has made poor invest
ment, as the cattle will have to be hunted
down and shot. A party is now being or
ganized for that purpose. The animals are
as wild as Western buffaloes, and will charge
a hunter who attacks them. They escaped
to the island by swimming through the surf
from vessel wrecked on the coast several
years ago, and have defeated all attempts to
subdue or capture them.

her to chair or to the table where she
eats. Probably not one in score goes
outside of her dwelling place once year.
Although having attendants to wait
upon them, and no work or labor OF
any kind to perform themselves-noth-
ing to do but eat, drink and deck them
selves out in fnery-their lives must be
dreary and wretched.
Virtually prisoner in their own
house, they have not even the resource
of reading and writing, for Chinese
females as rule are not taught to either
read or write; hence no literary enjoy
ment can be had. Still they are envied
by all Chinese women whose feet are of
normal size. The pain and suffering one
must endure to be small-footed woman
are not taken into account.
The first step is taken when the child
if from four to six years old. The feet
are first rubbed with oil heated as hot
as the subject can bear; then they are
covered with bandages wound as tight as
possible without stopping the circulation
of the blood. After an interval of two or
three days, during which time the feet
will swell . as much as the band
ages will allow, two small boxes
without covers are made and filled
with cement, the properties of
which are similar to plaster of Paris
Water is mixed with the cement, and
while it is soft the feet of the child are
pressed down and into the soft mass. AS
soon as the cement sets and becomes
hard the wooden covering is taken off
the cement mold cut away to the shape
of the foot and thick bandages wound
around the whole. Every three or four
months the cement cast is broken, the
feet rubbed with oil, rebound and again
placed in a cement cast.
This treatment is kept up for three,
four and sometimes six or seven years.
The result is that the normal growth
of the foot from the ankle down is
stopped, and when the child becomes an
adult her pedal extremities are in the
same condition as though her feet were
amputated at the ankle joint.
If any of the readers of this article have
ever suffered, as they probably have, from
tight boot for an hour or two they can
have some slight idea of the suffering a
Chinese child must undergo by having
her feet placed in a mold for years.
mold so tight that it prevents the foot
from growing for want of room. l be-
lieve one attempt only has been made in
this country to retard or prevent the
growth of the feet of Chinese child,
although five or six small-footed women
have been brought here from China.
The attempt speak of was tried in
San Francisco some years since, but the
authorities learning of it arrested the
father of the child and sent the inhuman
parent to prison for cruelty to children.
Although the child's feet had been
bound for only five or six mouths the re-
suit was that she is crippled for life.
